The Muhlenberg tennis teams competed together on the road for the fifth time this spring, and for the fifth time, both won.
The men defeated Arcadia, 6-1, to improve their record for the year to 6-3. The women swept, 7-0, to run their record to 7-2. The seven wins match the most for the Mules since the 2013-14 team went 8-7.Â
Although the men's team swept the doubles, the No. 1 and No. 2 matches were extremely close, with Muhlenberg winning 7-5 in both. The top two singles matches were also close; junior
William Rose needed a third set to win at No. 2.Â
The Mules rolled at the third through sixth singles spots, however. The four Muhlenberg players lost a total of only six games, and each recorded at least one 6-0 set, including junior
Matt Miller (pictured above) at No. 3.
Miller also contributed to the 7-5 win at first singles - the 50th career win for junior
Owen Dyer.Â
The women's match followed a similar script, as third through sixth singles - including junior
Taylor Current (pictured above) at No. 5 - lost only six games.Â
Freshman
Sydney Madlock came back after dropping her first set at No. 1 singles to win in three.
Senior
Kety Gaidamashvili did not lose a game in either of her matches, combining with junior
Charley Madlock for a 6-0 win at No. 2 doubles and sweeping at No. 4 singles.
